this place rocks

On Thursday night, K. and I hopped in an SUV which--despite all my principles-- was shockingly comfortable for the 6 adults it contained-- and drove with our landlords and the local bank president and wife to the Wildlife Tasting Banquet.

That's right, folks.

It cost a dollar a person to get in, was held at the county agricultural place which contains an indoor arena for rodeos, and chili and Brunswich stew were all you can eat. The wildlife dishes were brought by sundry citizens to compete for cash prizes given to best-tasting and most original.

The venison calzones were delicious; I didn't go near the gator eggs with crackers. Sadly, there was no possum this year.
